Do you want me to?

[Text]

[crab_rangoon]

Not particularly. I'd like to have at least one fucking person who doesn't instantly try to moralize to me.

Especially when we're all in the same fucking position.

I’d rather leave that to the wardens. I’ve got bigger priorities.

[crab_rangoon]

Oh? Do tell.

[dog_eat_dog]

The lot of you keeping shit under wraps, for one. I don’t care if you attack wardens.

[Any warden but Arthur, anyway.]

I do care about you and Steve putting your business where everyone can see it. I don’t want every warden to think addicts are going to be a problem here, because addicts mean they’re thinking about what contraband is out there.

[Good thing Pagan loves Arthur, even if Arthur doesn't feel the same!]

Addicts, Tess? What the fuck are you talking about addicts? I'm fucking clean.

Talk to Steve about it. I don't put anything in public.

I don’t care if you use or even what you use. But you don’t want people to think you are, then YOU talk to Steve about it, because he’s going to burn your reputation very fast. After attacking your warden twice in a matter of weeks, you think anyone’s going to believe your word over his?

Tess.

My dear, dear Tess.

What's he saying to people?

[dog_eat_dog]

You need to figure that out, because anyone who posts to the Network ready to make it public sure as shit is talking privately too.

[crab_rangoon]

Fucking hell.

I knew I shouldn't have gotten into that shit.

[dog_eat_dog]

Maybe. Biggest problem I see is that we’ve got a walking contraband generator with loose lips and his heart on his sleeve.

[crab_rangoon]

No, that is a problem.

And he's got no powers unless he's in Nadja's room. He's fast, but he's not a fucking fighter.

[dog_eat_dog]

Someone could take advantage.

[crab_rangoon]

Yes, Tess. I understand that.

Do I need to worry about anyone in particular? Someone with experience in these sorts of matters?

[The "like you?" is not written, but he's hoping it's implied.]

[dog_eat_dog]

Not a lot of people here who check those boxes.

[crab_rangoon]

[GDI, Tess. Why so shady?]

No. Not a lot at all, Tess.

Well! Now that we've established that.

If you're feeling generous, I'm more than happy to learn what our favorite fucking family is up to.

[dog_eat_dog]

I don't know, I haven't polled the inmate population on who is likely to capitalize on something as vague as one guy's fucking biomatter.

[crab_rangoon]

Hey! No need to get testy. We're on the same side, aren't we?

I'm just saying that perhaps we should fucking figure it out, huh? I've been out of the business for a few decades, but I still know how it works.

I'll admit, I've been fucking around for a few months, but I think that's over.

[dog_eat_dog]

Yeah? You want to get back into the business?

[crab_rangoon]

Been thinking about it.

I told Bill I'd help him out once. Didn't go far but I offered.

[dog_eat_dog]

Really? Why didn't you follow up?

[crab_rangoon]

Like I said- I've been fucking around. Too many fucking people getting in my head.

Might not be too late.

[dog_eat_dog]

Do that. I'm going to send him a message and see about putting you two in touch, too, just so our bases are covered.

You planning to keep fucking with Steve?

[crab_rangoon]

Thanks.

I have no intention of stopping anything with Steve. That would cause a meltdown.

[dog_eat_dog]

Good. He's an asset to you.
